Editor and Contributing Writer, Fragmenting Yesterday, Reshaping Tomorrow, published by Indonesian Contemporary Art and Design (ICAD)

The twelfth edition of the Indonesian Contemporary Art and Design (ICAD) exhibition, themed Fragmenting Yesterday, Reshaping Tomorrow, featured works by 59 artists, designers, architects, creative technologists, and sound artists. Co-curated by Amanda Ariawan and Prananda L. Malasan, the exhibition explored the concept of "reconstruction," reflecting on how the pandemic has influenced collective memory and the shaping of the future. Participants presented a diverse range of perspectives, from humorous to political, analytical to speculative, addressing topics such as the environment, history, technology, and civilization.

“It is through this exhibition that we are able to discover various opinions from the participants, ranging from humorous to political and analytical to speculative; their ideas contribute to a spectrum of knowledge and discourses on timely topics surrounding the environment, history, technology, and civilisation.”
